Chapter 102 Out Of Luck

Rayna woke up dizzy, and she was still feeling a slight discomfort in her stomach. I think I’m having my period. She massaged her head and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Upon getting out of her bedroom, she noticed movements in the kitchen. It seems like Jessica is in the kitchen.

Rayna saw the oatmeal and a few side dishes on the dining table, so she assumed that Jessica had made them. “Not bad, Jessie! You’re capable of making breakfast now!” she praised before sitting down at the table.

Jessica came out of the kitchen with a plate of bagels in her hands. With a gleeful smile, she answered, “Of course! Although I don’t cook, I can still make oatmeal. Try these bagels. I bought them at the supermarket last night.”

“You went to the supermarket last night?” Rayna froze for a moment before asking, “Did you only fetch me from Plum Blossoms after that?”

“Mr. Faymon sent you home last night.”

Upon hearing that, Rayna finally recalled what had happened the night before. I think I was squatting down by the road when I was waiting for Jessica to pick me up. After that, Uncle Curtis came up to me, and we had a chat before he said he would send me home. I don’t have any recollection of what happened afterward.

“Oh, I see…” Rayna was holding the bagel in her hand, and she was overwhelmed with embarrassment. It’s always Uncle Curtis sending me home whenever I’m drunk. Would he think I’ve been doing it on purpose? She then added, “I shouldn’t have drunk so much! I’ve embarrassed myself.”

“What’s so embarrassing about that? Mr. Faymon wasn’t even angry.” While grinning, Jessica uttered in an ambiguous tone, “Mr. Faymon even had your period stains on his sleeves. Still, he was in a good mood, and he carried you to the bathroom!”

Rayna was rendered speechless, and all she could do was rub her temples in embarrassment. How embarrassing is that? I don’t even dare to think about what happened last night. How am I supposed to face Uncle Curtis after this?

After breakfast, Rayna was still feeling ashamed when she was on her way to work.

Meanwhile, Jessica urged, “Don’t be so ashamed of yourself anymore. I think Mr. Faymon only sent you back because he’s into you. What if—”

“No!” Rayna interrupted her speech. Since there were a lot of people on the subway, she whispered, “He’s Julian’s uncle! Don’t you know that?”

“You divorced Julian a long time ago, right? Who says you can’t date a man who’s an uncle to your ex- husband?”

“Didn’t you say Mr. Faymon is bad?” Rayna shot her a side-eye. “You said he’s going to bring misfortune to his wife, so he can only get married in his thirties. What are you trying to do? Do you want him to bring misfortune to me?”

Jessica patted Rayna’s arm and giggled. “That’s right, but I’m just asking you to date Mr. Faymon. After all, I think you guys would make a lovely married couple.”

Rayna was at a loss for words upon hearing that. In fact, she could feel a headache coming just from listening to those words. Hence, she ignored Jessica and whipped out her phone to check the time. The moment she did that, she saw a few messages on her Twitter. Apparently, those direct messages she received were telling her that she had won a prize.

Rayna went on Twitter and noticed that the messages were sent by BC’s official site.

Three days prior, Jessica took her phone and participated in a lucky draw event held by BC on Twitter. Rayna won a car, so BC was telling her to collect her car from one of their stores within the next fifteen working days.

“What? I won?” Rayna checked the messages three times in a row. That’s my username, and I’ve indeed won a car! With that in mind, she passed her phone to Jessica and said, “Car.”

“What car?” Jessica asked in confusion. She was stunned when she saw the messages on the phone. Upon giving Rayna a tight slap on the shoulder, she exclaimed, “Wow! We won!”

Rayna was rather overwhelmed, too. “I think I’ve used up all my luck on this.”

“Were you born under a lucky star, Nana?” Jessica couldn’t suppress the excitement within her, and she shouted, “Do you have a driving license? Does this mean we won’t need to take the subway anymore?” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I do, but don’t you think we should sell the car?” Rayna asked. “Although we won the car with my Twitter account, you were the one who participated in the event by sharing the tweet. Technically, you’re the winner.”

Jessica waved her hand dismissively and said, “That doesn’t matter. What matters is that we won! We don’t have to sell the car. Since you have a driving license, let’s just go to work with a car from now on. It’s so tiring to take the subway.”

Rayna smiled and nodded upon hearing that.

When Rayna arrived at work, she bumped into Edith. The latter took a few steps backward, and her expression turned grim instantly. It was as if she was irritated when she saw Rayna.

“Hi, Edith,” Rayna greeted.

Edith snorted and walked past her.

Rayna was unperturbed and went to her desk. Although she had already changed her seat, she still couldn’t shake Jefferson off. When she arrived at her desk, there was a fragrant camellia waiting for her.

Seeing that, Rayna massaged her temples helplessly.

Suddenly, her colleague turned toward her and said, “Rayna, there’s a meeting for the executives later. Be sure to arrive in the conference room at ten.”

“Since it’s a meeting for the executives, why should I go?” Rayna asked in a puzzled tone.

“I’m not sure. I saw the email from the company, and your name was in it.” The colleague then showed Rayna a screenshot of the email and whispered, “The email I told you about was deleted by Edith. Remember to go over, okay? If Edith asks you anything, don’t tell her I told you about it.”

Rayna looked at the screenshot. Indeed, it was an email the company sent out ten minutes prior.

“Okay. Thank you.” Rayna was smart enough to know why the colleague had decided to tell her about the email. I bet she’s just trying to get on my good side because it’s possible that I will be named the new supervisor at the meeting.

Rayna went through some documents and only went to the conference room at nine-forty.

The conference room on the top floor was only for the executives and the shareholders. The others would usually either hold their meetings in the conference room downstairs or in their own respective

departments. Not only were the regular employees not able to get into the conference room on the top floor, but they also needed special access cards to get in.

The moment Rayna exited the elevator, she saw a secretary from the secretarial department waiting for her. The secretary then brought her to the conference room. Before entering the conference room, the secretary had to flash her access card on a machine next to the door.

As soon as the door to the conference room was opened, Rayna could smell the scent of sandalwood in the air. There was an enormous conference table in the conference room of almost a hundred square meters big. The chairs were arranged nicely, and there were notebooks and microphones on the table. Besides, there was a high-grade projection screen on the wall. The walls in the conference room were mainly gray and white. Although the design was minimalistic, it looked elegant.

Rayna was stunned when she saw the conference room.

At times, she would visit her clients’ conference rooms when she was on business trips. I’ve been to countless conference rooms, but nothing beats the one Faymon Group has.

In fact, that was Rayna’s first time stepping into Faymon Group’s conference room for the executives. No wonder everyone wants to get promoted. The treatment the executives get is so much different from what the regular employees get. Everything here is so nice and elegant. Once one has enjoyed this kind of treatment, there’s no going back.

A lot of people were already seated at that conference table before Rayna arrived. Edith was sitting at the right end of the conference table, and she was talking to someone next to her while wearing a sly smile on her face.

Rayna’s entrance attracted everyone’s attention, and Edith was in disbelief when she saw Rayna. What is she doing here? I’ve already deleted the email.

Right then, Rayna asked the secretary, “May I know if I’m allowed to sit anywhere I like, or have I been assigned to a seat?”

“There’s your seat, Ms. Garland.” The secretary pointed to a seat.

Rayna thanked the secretary before walking into the conference room with her eyes looking forward. Eventually, she arrived at a seat opposite Edith and sat down. The chair was made of rattan. Not only was it very comfortable to sit on, but it also had a faint woody fragrance.
